Wisconsin State Capitol (Third) Park Gateway
Image
Third Wisconsin State Capitol (the second in Madison), showing the East Washington Avenue gateway and iron fence. In reality the statues, which were meant to represent the four seasons, were less impressive than they seem in vintage photographs. They were made of cast zinc that was painted white, not stone sculptures.
1899
